Abstract

A flow meter is provided which employs a thermal flow sensor and a correcting flow meter, for example, a Karman vortex flow meter such that the output from the thermal flow sensor is corrected by the Karman vortex flow meter, thereby making it possible to accurately and stably measure the flow rate of fluids in a wide range even if the composition of fluids changes.
